We're looking for a Legal Operations Coordinator to support the in-house legal team at a growing tech company. You'll own the contract lifecycle day to day in Ironclad and manage the legal inbox, working closely with the Chief Legal Officer. You'll also partner with business teams to keep contracts moving through approval and signature. It's a strong fit for a highly organized, polished communicator who can deliver a high-touch service experience while building the tools and resources that let the business work more independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end contract workflows in Ironclad, from intake and internal review through approval, execution, and archiving.
• Drive contracts to closure by tracking status, coordinating with Legal, Finance, and business stakeholders, and making sure every required approval is in place before documents go out for signature.
• Manage the legal and legal operations inboxes by assessing incoming requests, resolving routine questions, and routing matters to the right attorney or team.
• Run the execution process through DocuSign and maintain accurate, complete, well-organized records of executed agreements.
• Serve as a trusted partner to cross-functional teams, giving timely updates, clarifying process, and pointing stakeholders to the right legal resources.
• Use Slack and email to keep request tracking and communication with the business transparent and organized.
• Perform first-level review of standard agreements and documentation where appropriate, and escalate complex matters to the legal team.
• Maintain data integrity in the CLM through ongoing cleanup, metadata governance, and repository organization.
• Build and refine self-service resources, templates, and guidance that improve efficiency and reduce routine demand on the legal team.

Required Experience

• Experience in legal operations, contract administration, or a paralegal or legal support role, ideally within an in-house corporate legal department
• Proven ability to manage contracts across the full lifecycle, including intake, approval routing, execution, and recordkeeping
• Working knowledge of a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, with comfort operating in it as a primary workspace
• Experience managing a high volume of requests from a shared inbox, setting priorities with sound judgment, and directing stakeholders appropriately
• Proficiency with DocuSign or a comparable e-signature platform, Slack, and the Microsoft and Google productivity suites
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain legal process clearly to non-legal audiences
• A self-directed approach and the ability to manage daily operations independently with minimal oversight
• Exceptional attention to detail and sound discretion with confidential information

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Ironclad
• Paralegal certification or a Bachelor's degree
• Experience in a technology or corporate environment rather than a law firm
• Familiarity with commercial agreements such as NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, and vendor contracts
• A strong interest in legal technology, process optimization, and operational excellence
